Introduction of course objectives, program, and exam#

The learning objectives of this course are available on brightspace.

Please also study the information on the home page of this course. This page comprises important information about the preparation of the lectures and the prerequisite knowledge.

The exam will of this course is an oral group exam in which each member needs to elucidate decicions taken during the design of the hearing loop receiver.

The required pass level is a complete and correct motivation of the design of the signal path of the hearing loop receiver and its verification with SLiCAP. The focus is on the design options and the design decisions taken. Biasing considerations and the bias conditions of the transistors also need to be clarified. The design of bias circuits themselves, such as voltage sources, voltage level shifts, and current sources, is optional, but is rewarded if it is done.

Hearing aid tele-coil amplifier

Throughout this series, we’ll explore core principles of electronic design, using a hearing aid telecoil amplifier as our ongoing design example. Each lecture will introduce theory, which you’ll immediately apply in teams to enhance your amplifier project. This hands-on approach will help solidify your understanding while working on a practical, real-world application. Let’s design, learn, and build together!

Components

SLiCAP

  1. Please download the latest version of SLiCAP. It will be used during this course!

  2. Design of a first-order low-pass RC filter with noise and settling-time requirements using SLiCAP: SLiCAP archive

  3. SED-SLiCAP poster (pdf format)

  4. SED-SLiCAP poster-parts (pdf format)

  5. SLiCAP test bench for T1 matrix parameters

  6. SLiCAP analysis examples linear time-invariant dynamic systems

  7. Updated SLiCAP scripts "Structured Electronics Design ED-3"

Group exercise hearing loop gain distribution#

Amplifiers: Introduction hearing loop system.

  1. The presentation "Introduction hearing loop system" introduces the design exercise, and presents the first design task.

  2. Create SLiCAP specItems() objects to hold the specifications and store the specifications in a csv file.

Our elaboration of the exercise.

Groups#

All design exercises in this course are group exercises. Groups of with three to seven participants are preferred.
